with new sight contested

look easy to pick and tread
some were raised upright
wanting to be idolised ~
as landfall stands for the soul

bowing upright azure tongues,
marching from the sun.
Pallets lick the shifting sand,
slowly move the plastic land.

ears upright listening
his soft growls, he corners his prey
even in sleep he dreams

Whose voice was a real humdinger
But Rangers would mount on
And all she could count on
Was her upright middle finger

Sex horizontal is sanctified
That's great for seed pearls
Who blossom as girls
But sons result from an upright bride!

Overgrown tree
Full with shadows
Still longing for the sun
Looking for the glowing orb
Needing warmth

We can sit and brood
As our lips curl down
Below our very chins
Or, we can sit upright
Be strong in ourselves
Know that we, who try,
Simply put, will win

as the stars twinkle brightly tonight.
Then the scent comes on strong,
in the morning. So long!
Hungry Rex is too eager to bite!

Fitful, restless haunting nightmares, staring at the moon and stars
Bag less upright morning never stimulation needed

If he is an upright man and never puts morality to shame!

I was sick and tired of Professor Panzy's ism,
And with the passage of time got priaprism;
Upright in posture
It abhorred moisture,
For the thing it was a matter of formalism.

Dear family, we cannot promise the world,
Nor turn palms upright to foretell futures.
Without our love lies an emotional third-world;
Cherish priceless moments of hearts pictures.

Morning, you onerous tease
with your welcoming light
gifting illuminous sight
what have you brought forth
an awakening
to move and to hope
in the woe of day
but upright I fear not

VALENTINE NIGHTMARE
An octogenarian swain
Went down on one knee, in some pain.
His proposal rejected,
He was feeling dejected.
Then couldn’t stand upright again.

Each time you read one of my poems
A sweet little fairy will call you on the phone
Offers you a wish
Blows you a kiss
If you're still upright, she'll tickle your proto zoan

Man who is removed from wickedness
leads a renewed and upright life.
He stays away from vices
and life's evil pleasures.
He does not allow
others to drive
him to do
sinful
acts.
